MT-NewsWatcher is a Usenet news client for the Macintosh. Usenet is a globally
distributed news network over which many thousands of people
distribute messages every day, and which contains discussion groups
on virtually every topic under the sun. MT-NewsWatcher allows you
to quickly and efficiently target the articles you wish to read,
with sophisticated yet easy to use filtering, searching and sorting
features. The program also makes viewing and saving binaries from
newsgroups easy, and works transparently across multiple news servers.

MT-NewsWatcher is derived from an earlier program called simply "NewsWatcher",
by John Norstad of Northwestern University, but greatly enhances that
program's feature set.

Software costs money to develop: hardware has to be maintained, development tools updated,
and there are new service and web hosting costs. My time is free, but unfortunately these other costs
are unavoidable.

in ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter; the file will be called MT-NewsWatcher.crash.log.
You may have to turn Crash Reporter on in the preferences of the Console application on Mac OS 10.2 and
earlier.
